This will probably always be chewy and I have put the drinking window earlier than it might otherwise be to avoid the risk of this drying out with extended bottle age

The mouthfeel is lightweight but enduring

floral and wild red berry scents

taking on a sensation of liquid rocks as pretty inner florals resonate throughout

there is infectious juiciness to refresh and encourage the next sip

Tolpuddle Vineyard, Chardonnay other_regions_italy This will probably always beThe 2023 Tolpuddle Chardonnay is a steely and tense expression that delivers powerful and highly focussed aromas of citrus and florals with a peach skin highlight. Fine French oak sits in the perfect place. Excellent density of youthful flavor follows, with flinty, delicatessen like tones holding firm over a strong, long, adolescent finish. This is a keeper that needs another decade to hit its peak.
